Cool. I think I'll get the M50/M50s. Which one should I get? Some people say the straight cable is better in terms of sound. I know the straight is for home and coiled is for portability but I just need the better audio experience!!!

i've got some 595's after my 555's broke due to their design flaw didn't matter though i liked them so much i went ahead and bought their big(ger) brother. have them connected to the headphone (amp?) port on my xfi HD.

Answered your question before you asked .

I was going to get the straight cable but it isn't very common so usually the coiled version is much cheaper.

Unless they use a spectacularly bad straight cable there won't be any difference in sound. They probably use the exact same cable only one is coiled.

I strongly urge you to ignore the hype surrounding cables. Cables are just not going to matter unless you're applying them to a $5,000+ application. Go for what's going to be more convenient for you.

Oh. OK. Thanks for quoting the answer to my question. I was looking at this too. I'm kind of leaning towards the straight cable because the coiled will tend to pull on the headphones because I will probably sit back in my chair and pull on the 3 foot cable. Quick question, I'm planning on buying from amazon and they order through acer photo digital so I wanted to know if they were trustworthy. I can also order it from Best Buy and have them deliver it to the local Best Buy. What should I do?Edited by Little Overclocker/Gamer - 1/8/11 at 5:52pm
